Handbook of Comparative Genomics

Principles and Methodology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides the basics by which researchers can approach basic and applied problems of management and enquiry of biosequence databases, as well as learn to develop computer models for the description of biological processes. This book also covers the comparative methodology involved in studying molecular evolution and reviews principles of genomics, from organization and function to a comparative description of gene structure and expression across systems.

---

This comprehensive reference covers the comparative methodology involved in studying molecular evolution. Providing a practical introduction to the role of bioinformatics in comparative genomics, this publication further discusses the basic technology used in genome sequencing projects and provides an overview of genome storage databases currently in use.
This timely and cutting-edge text also:
_ Reviews the basic principles of genomics and gene
expression analysis
_ Discusses analytic methods in proteomics and
transcriptomics
_ Includes a comprehensive list of Web resource
